Message: <blockquote data-quote="G.A. Donis" data-source="post: 1406991" data-attributes="member: 1758">One of the worst games I've played in was a game I didn't actually play in.  It was Living Greyhawk at a Con in a southern state (names have been omitted to protect the innocent) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> .  Trying to line up players to make a table for a round I really wanted to play, I asked two people if they could help make a table for myself and someone else wanting to play the round.  After some wishy-washy back in forth from all sides (myself included) we got enough people to make the table.  At this time we were told that the GM wasn't present and would have to wait for him.  We waited over an hour for this guy to show up.  When he showed up he sat down, handed out the Adventure Records and asked us if anybody had played another round.  This other round was "part 1" of this series of which we about to play "part 2".  Nobody had played it but that's not that big a deal, it happens.  He started to tell us what happens to our characters.  Everybody at the table thinks he is recapping "part 1" so we would have an idea of the story background.  HA!  He is recapping THIS ROUND.  After he finished talking, he starts signing the AR's and walks off saying he was through with the RPGA!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Oh, when he first started to talk he asked everybody to roll a d20.  I guess its official if everybody rolls a die  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Everybody at the table tore up the AR's and we talked to the Con Admin to make sure nobody got screwed by this so it ended up okay, except that I talked two people out of playing a round so they could sit around and have a round read to them  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> .  This person had been a jerk all Con and had been "playing against the table" for almost every round he played in.  Also, a friend at the con organized a midnight round and put a sign up sheet with his name and my name on it.  This person scratched my name off of the list while putting his and his friend's name on the list.  He told my friend that my character was too low a level and they didn't want to game with me.  My character was only two levels below the average.  I have often run this character at 2 below the APL and never had a problem him weakining the party.  This list incident happened first day of the con before he pulled the "tell everybody what happens and then walk off" stunt.</blockquote>
